and will be doing it again this year. Managed 51.3mph on that mad downhill about 8 miles from the end! This was with no rear brake as a stone had got caught in a rear pad scoring the rim and leaving a massive lump where I had released the brake. Had to do some scary slip streaming as well
7am or 7.30 start for me or something similary stupid!!
Did it in 3hrs28 riding time and 3hrs43 total time including a couple of stops
